• The evil itself was personified by a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah. (“Zechariah 5” by E. Dennett)
• The weight of lead may represent the restraint for a time of the power of the wickedness, symbolized by the woman, through human government, or by other means. (“Zechariah 5” by E. Dennett)
• It is more difficult to seize the precise meaning of the casting the weight of lead upon the mouth of the ephah, but we judge that it points to the immense energy of the wickedness as contained in the ephah. The great weight of lead was cast upon its mouth; some severe repression exercised, it may be, in the way of government, rather than directly, to hinder further expansion and development; and yet, as the remaining part of the vision shows, the wickedness was irrepressible, and flowed out in its true form and character. (“Zechariah 5” by E. Dennett)
